Statistics from information services for May 2001:
Please read the notes at the end of this report for important
information on how the data was gathered and how it can be
compared to other months.
World-Wide Web Servers (www.uky.edu and ukcc.uky.edu):
46,022,677 total transactions, -14%
20,944 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -9%
46,886 from UK SLIP/PPP users, +3%
16,842,726 from UK campus network workstations, -37%
736,115 from local indexing
28,376,006 from the Internet, +7%
Qi/Ph Directory (ukcc.uky.edu):
275,747 total transactions, -16%
192,731 from VM/CMS servers & users (ukcc.uky.edu), -22%
228 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -8%
81,010 from UK campus network workstations, +1%
1,778 from the Internet, -2%
(Most campus & Internet access is through the servers at ukcc.uky.edu)
Gopher Server (gopher.uky.edu):
28,795 total transactions, -2%
21,758 from CMS users (ukcc.uky.edu), -1%
1 from UK SLIP/PPP users, -50%
879 UK campus network workstations, +17%
6,157 from the Internet, -10%
View (ukcc.uky.edu):
40 total transactions, -25%
(This is for the now retired View system. View applications have
been moved to the web. This does not count the anonymous View
login services, which use the web and are counted above.)
The servers are used 24 hours each day from all over the world, but
most use is from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm, with a concentration from 1:00
pm until 5:00 pm Eastern Time.
The WWW Hit Parade
These were the most popular pages on the main Web servers (www.uky.edu
and ukcc.uky.edu). Web client access to the Gopher server is counted
below with the other Gopher counts. The count for the Computer Labs is
exaggerated because the lab computers are configured to use that page
as home.

Web Browser Information
Web browser information is not available for this month.
The Gopher Hit Parade
Gopher and View services have been mostly phased out, but some items are
still delivered to web browsers through Gopher servers. The figures are
total transactions with a daily average.

Notes
The services covered here are the World-Wide Web, Gopher, Qi/Ph
Directory, and CMS View. CMS View is available only to local CMS users
(the anonymous View service uses the CMS Web browser). The other
services are available to workstations with campus ethernet access or
terminals on multi-user systems with appropriate software. Most of
these services are available world-wide over the Internet, although some
data is restricted to local users.
Web client software (like Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer) can use all of these services, Gopher clients can use all but
the Web services, and Ph and Eudora clients can use Qi/Ph services. (We
distribute versions of most of these for Macintosh, Windows, and some
Unix platforms.) Tracking Web clients is the most complex because of the
number of protocols they support. A document on a Web server can refer
the client to another Web document, a Gopher item, or Qi/Ph search
without the client user's awareness.
The transaction counts are counts of Gopher and View menu picks - when
someone picks an item from a View or Gopher menu that counts as one
transaction. A transaction could lead to a document, a search, or
another menu. Web transactions are for documents and searches. What
the Web user sees as a single page might involve multiple server
transactions. Most Web requests from www.uky.edu are for building the
index used by our search service. Qi/Ph transactions are searches and
requests for additional information.
The major changes to the upper-level pages on www.uky.edu in October
1998 make it difficult to relate this month's total transactions to
earlier figures. The initial page and many of the upper-level pages
now make many references for images and scripts, greatly inflating the
total number of transactions, but indicative of the increased load
created. The figures in the WWW Hit Parade are largely unaffected
however.
The primary Web server is running on an ASA Xeon Server (www.uky.edu)
using the Apache server under FreeBSD. The primary campus Gopher and
Qi/Ph servers are running on an IBM 7060 (gopher.uky.edu and
ukcc.uky.edu) under VM/ESA. Additional Web service is provided by the
IBM 7060 VM/ESA system (ukcc.uky.edu) and others.
There are numerous other specialized servers running on these and other
machines which are not included here.
